52、onal Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016, the IUCN added the pangolin to the worlds “endangered animals list”. They are now more
53、 endangered than pandas.A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in number. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medical qualities. However, their scales are made of keratin(角蛋白), the same
54、 material human fingernails are made of.Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. Its a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangolins in China. Breaking this law is reg

The biologist has also
63、made an effort to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.Prof. Jones was awarded the $250,000 prize at a ceremony in London.“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didnt enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticis
64、m I received.” Reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Mauritius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time.

70、词数应为150左右。A tornado(龙卷风) hit a small town nearby, leaving many families completely destroyed.

Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned
74、goods and foods. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. The boys were pleased to join. Brad rose and went to his room fast. He came back bringing his action figures that he played with not so frequently. Brett
75、 also jumped up and ran to fetch some of his Matchbox cars and airplane models.

You love her so much.” Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe shell make that little girl happy, too.
78、” She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucys flat face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys. The boys watched, openmouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box.Paragraph 2:Recognizing what little M
79、eghans gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had bought on sale last week. I believed the young woman in the picture would like it and fit it as much as I did. The boys had also been inspired by our behavior and carried their beloved things. We all wished the family could pass the difficult period as soon as possible and that they would love the things we gave them with all our heart.
